Hifi headphones excellent high-quality music reproduction. In addition to first-class sound also attract premium materials and high quality workmanship.

When choosing Hi-Fi headphones, first consider what you will use them for

Headphones for PC or laptops

For gaming, office work, or as a versatile PC headset, we recommend over-ear headphones. They are comfortable even during extended listening sessions, and compared with similarly expensive in-ear headphones, they offer superior sound quality. For gaming or Internet video conversations, choose a headset with a microphone.

Headphones for life on the go

When travelling on the bus, train, or plane, earbuds and in-ear headphones are the most convenient, as are headphones with a folding design. In short, go for something lightweight and compact.

Sports headphones

In-ear headphones, such as ear buds, are ideal sports headphones as they fit snugly in your ears, block out ambient noise, and are more comfortable during hot and sweaty workouts than over-ear headphones.

TV Headphones

TV headhpones can be connected by a 3.5mm jack or wirelessly. When choosing TV headphones with wires, we recommend a cable length of at least one metre longer than the distance between the TV and the viewing point.

What else should I look for when choosing headphones?

Connections

Wireless headsets (Bluetooth, radio frequency) - with no wires, they provide greater freedom of movement (Bluetooth headsets have a range of approx. 10 metres from the playback device; radio frequency up to 100 metres). Wireless headphones have built-in batteries and must be recharged.

Clearly defines the headphone design. Earbuds and canalbuds are suitable for sport or travel, while full-size headphones are suitable for comfortable home listening or as a PC accessory.

Construction

Closed (77)

Open (14)

Semi-closed (5)

Construction is one of the main criteria in the selection. Closed headphones isolate you from the noise around you and also keep others from hearing your music, while the open design allows more natural sound reproduction, but at the expense of sound passing through the cups.

Directional characteristics

Omni-directional scanning (35)

Directional sensing (1)

Microphone directionality describes the microphone's sensitivity to sound from various directions.

Impedance

19 Ohm (1)

39 Ohm (1)

47 Ohm (1)

An electrical parameter expressing resistance circuits in microphones. It is measured in ohms and its value is important for an optimal microphone-to-amplifier connection.

connection type

3.5 mm Jack (70)

Bluetooth (40)

NFC (15)

USB Type-A (1)

6.3 mm Jack (20)

Bluetooth with dongle (1)

3.5mm jack connector (in case of PC headphones, a pair of 3.5mm jack connectors or USB connector) is definitely the most widespread connector type. Wireless headsets, using Bluetooth or radio channels for connection, are also increasing in popularity.

Cable length

1.2 m

3 m

Shorter cables are ideal for portable earphones as they are harder to tangle. Headphones for home use (eg. TV headphones), on the other hand, can provide more comfort with longer cables.

Cable routing

Unilateral (in one shell) (69)

Bilateral (in both shells) (15)

There are single-side and double-side headphone cables – single-side headphones have the advantage of a single cable connected to a headset, effectively preventing the wire from getting tangled.

Frequency from

3 Hz

20 Hz

Frequency is one of the most important parameters when choosing headphones. Generally, the higher frequency range of headphones, the better sound quality. The lower limit of the frequency range deals with bass reproduction. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Frequency to

20 kHz

100 kHz

Frequency is one of the most important parameters when choosing headphones. Generally, the higher frequency range of headphones, the better sound quality. The upper limit of the frequency range deals with treble reproduction. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Sensitivity

94 dB/mW

115 dB/mW

Sensitivity is measured in decibels per milliwatt, or dB/mW, and describes the sound pressure level. Generally, the higher the sensitivity, the better the headphones are for sound reproduction. A higher value also indicates higher volume.
